The following is Andy Crofford’s guest opinion of MarketLeverage, an up and coming affiliate company. Andy wrote his review of MarketLeverage as an entry to my MarketLeverage Contest. There are three ways to enter the contest, and writing a review was one of them. If you are interested in joining, there are two $179 Flip Mino video cameras, $100 in giftcards, and 10 2GB USB pens up for grabs. (Read more about the contest here) With that put aside, here is Andry Crofford’s opinions of MarketLeverage.

MarketLeverage was the first affiliate program I ever signed up with. This review will look at the application process, affiliate manager, control panel, and offers.

Application Process

The application process with MarketLeverage was painless. All you have to provide is pretty standard. A lot of other networks want to know the Alexa ranking for each of your sites but not MarketLeverage. Out of all the applications I have filled out I found there’s to be one of the easiest. They are also really quick about getting back to you as well. I signed up on a Sunday and someone called me a couple hours later and approved my account. The other two networks I applied to at the same time as Market Leverage took a couple of days to get back with me.

Affiliate Manager

My affiliate manager for MarketLeverage is very nice. After my account was approved she contacted me the following day and introduced herself. I am small time so a lot of the networks don’t have a dedicated affiliate manager for me. That is one of the great things about MarketLeverage. My affiliate manager is always available on instant messenger during the day so it makes it very easy to communicate with her. When I contact her looking for certain offers she is always very quick to reply.

Control Panel

There are only a couple of negatives about MarketLeverage. The first is their control panel. I am not sure if it was because I didn’t have experience with affiliate networks or not but the offers within the control panel can be confusing. Other networks do a much better job of providing account management tools. With that is said it is very easy to navigate and search for offers. They have direct links to their top programs and also provide details on how offers convert. Again, the only real problem I have with their control panel is the offers detail page. I think they could do a better job of organizing the information (e.g.banner code, approve subject lines, etc…).

Offers

MarketLeverage has a variety of offers to choose from. You can find everything from surveys to ringtones to insurance offers. They really do have a great selections. This is where the second negative comes in. Many of their offers that I would be interested in (i.e.email and ZIP submits) are email only. I really wish they would have more of these offers allowing web and search since I don’t do any email marketing at this time.

Conclusion

MarketLeverage is an excellent affiliate network. The people I have interacted with there have all been very helpful. If you have not already joined Market Leverage I recommend you do.
